Belle of the Carribbean needs help/Kevin?

[NC Belle]

MIL has decided yesterday that she want the family to cruise this Christmas since we had rough 2 Christmas seasons in a row. Okay, this is cool---Carribbean sounds fun. NC Beast might be lucky to get Christmas Week off for the 3rd time (however, it is late March and usually it has been claimed by now). I don't know if the oldest of the 4 sons knows about this yet since he is wandering around Vietnam/SE Asia on a spiritual quest.

I went to look at some cruise sites to have some ideas and .

So, a little ago...MIL calls again... guess who has to find Christmas time cruises for 13+ people? Me since I find the WDW bargains.

Did I mention---we are the ones that never had cruise? MIL has cruised in the past and her last cruise---she almost miss the last tender at one of the ports.

So, I know I'm putting Dreams Unlimited for some quotes. Any other ideas?

The dates need to work with our 2 nieces who are in school and at least 1 out of 3 nephews are in colleges (maybe it will be 3 in college/trade school/? at that time).


Okay...time to read cruise boards...

Couple of cruise newbie questions:

1) How heavy of a person can be on the upper bearths?
2) How realistic for more than 3 adults can be comfortable in certain cabins?

3)How much is a Konk Cooler (whatever the tasty adult drink is called) because I might need to have a special fund for it.
